DIY Shelf ideas for kids rooms

Adorable as it is functional, this new Cloud Shelf provides storage for books, furry friends and even a small back pack! Each shelf is laser cut from heavy grade metal and features a 6 inch deep shelf + hook for all their modern treasures. A stylish and decorative storage solution. You can buy it here on May 4th

The idea has got me thinking about DIY decorative shelves for kids rooms and how to make them cheaply and easily

For example if you’d rather not buy the metal cloud shelf (which incidentally is rather reasonably priced), you could make a similar one yourself in wood.

Jazz up a plain shelf

Take one shelf of your choice.
Draw a cloud shape onto a piece of wood or MDF.
Cut out the shape with a jigsaw, paint it and the shelf white.
Screw it to the wall and mount your shelf below it.

Alternatively you could simply paint the cloud shape on the wall behind a shelf and while you are at it, add some more cloud shapes around the room.
You could do the same thing with the Metal Cloud shelf like I’ve done below.

Here’s some more easy shelf ideas

The cat shelf

Take a simple shelf, stick a wall sticker or wall decal of your choice above it.
The cat is a wall decal from Misi. Available in matt black or grey. This decal is approximately 300 mm long. They have other cats in the range doing cute catty things. You can find the cat and spider decal here. (Leave the spider off if you don’t like spiders)

Dear vixenmade, thank you so much. I LOVE the cloud theme!!
